Happy New Year! Picspam... (Reply)

I had absolutely no winter shoes. I kept getting wet feet in my slip-ons. So I bought these beauties <3

My Great Great Grandfather's paintings are in storage here - visiting them was made even more special by the fact that it is a 13th Century Monastery.

My email to my father went something like this: Nan just tried to buy you this for Xmas. You owe me big time.

Our vintage Christmas tree baubles, which I love. Mum got them from a charity shop, so they're not really heirlooms or anything. Unlike...

...the fairy on our tree, which Mum bought almost 40 years ago. She's been very revamped since then though, over the years. New wings, and a new dress, which is made from napkins we bought when we lived in Hong Kong, so it's a double-whammy of sentimentality.

My mum and step-dad find computers completely incomprehensible. This is a result of my trying to show them how to use the printer, and one of them accidentally pressing 'photocopy' while my hand was on it...

We went to see The Mighty Boosh! Our seats ROCKED. The view of the stadium behind us.
